The summer sun shone over Ban Jelačić Square.
Tržnica je već bila puna ljudi.
The market was already full of people.
Marko, Ana i Ivana kretali su se kroz gužvu, s različitim ciljevima na umu.
Marko, Ana, and Ivana moved through the crowd, each with different goals in mind.
Marko je imao svoj fotoaparat spreman.
Marko had his camera ready.
Htio je uloviti trenutke živopisnog života na tržnici.
He wanted to capture the vibrant life at the market.
Ana, koja je nedavno otvorila butik, tražila je jedinstvene lokalne proizvode.
Ana, who recently opened a boutique, was looking for unique local products.
Ivana, iskusna vodička, volela je dijeliti svoj grad s obitelji i prijateljima.
Ivana, an experienced guide, loved sharing her city with family and friends.
“Pogledaj ove rajčice!
"Look at these tomatoes!"
” uzviknu Ana, pokazujući na šareni štand prepun svježeg povrća.
exclaimed Ana, pointing to a colorful stand full of fresh vegetables.
“Moram ih slikati,” odgovori Marko, već podešavajući objektiv.
“I have to take a picture,” replied Marko, already adjusting the lens.
Ali kad je stisnuo okidač, starica s dvije vreće povrća prešla je ispred njegova kadra.
But as he pressed the shutter, an elderly woman with two bags of vegetables walked in front of his frame.
Marko je uzdahnuo.
Marko sighed.
"Ne brini," nasmiješila se Ivana, "bit će još prilika.
"Don't worry," Ivana smiled, "there will be more opportunities."
" Hodali su dalje, Ana je okom tražila nešto posebno.
They continued walking, Ana's eyes searching for something special.
Našla je staru baku s ručno rađenom keramikom.
She found an old lady with handmade ceramics.
"Koliko koštaju ove šalice?
"How much are these cups?"
" upita Ana.
Ana asked.
Baka je navela cijenu.
The lady named a price.
Ana je pokušala cijenkati, ali drugi kupac je ponudio više i uzeo šalice.
Ana tried to haggle, but another customer offered more and took the cups.
“Izgubili smo,” uzdahnula je Ana.
"We missed out," sighed Ana.
“Nema veze, pronaći ćemo nešto bolje,” tješila ju je Ivana.
"Never mind, we'll find something better," Ivana comforted her.
Marko je pronašao miran kutak i krenuo snimati.
Marko found a quiet corner and started shooting.
Uhvatilo ga je osjećaj sreće dok je gledao prolaznike i šarene štandove.
He felt a sense of happiness as he watched the passersby and colorful stalls.
“Ovo je savršeno,” prošaptao je dok je slikao djecu kako se smiju i starice kako razgovaraju.
"This is perfect," he whispered while photographing children laughing and elderly women chatting.
Ana je tada primijetila maleni štand sa prelijepim, ručno rađenim broševima.
Ana then noticed a small stand with beautiful, handmade brooches.
Bili su baš ono što je tražila za svoj butik.
They were just what she was looking for for her boutique.
I cijena je bila povoljna.
And the price was reasonable.
“Imamo sreće!
"We're in luck!"
” rekla je s osmijehom dok je plaćala.
she said with a smile as she paid.

“Slažem se,” pristala je Ana.
"I agree," Ana concurred.
“I ja.
“Me too.
Napravio sam savršenu fotografiju,” rekao je Marko.

They sat on the terrace of a nearby café and ordered coffee.

They laughed and talked about the day's adventures.
Marko je shvatio da može spojiti strast prema fotografiji i pomagati prijateljima.
Marko realized that he could combine his passion for photography with helping his friends.

Ana gained confidence in haggling at the market, and Ivana felt a deeper connection to the city by sharing her knowledge and love for Zagreb.
Topli vjetar puhao je kroz njihov stol dok su ispijali kavu.
A warm breeze blew through their table as they sipped their coffee.
Kroz smijeh i priču shvatili su da je taj dan bio više od obične kupovine.
Through laughter and conversation, they realized that the day had been more than just ordinary shopping.
